Taylor canvass targets legislature over Goebel seat

Four Democratic House members and at least six Democratic Senators oppose seating Goebel, signaling belief he may still receive a state board certificate. The teachers certificates exam will be held November 1 and 18, 1899, by County Superintendent B P Downey.
